USB Drive not listed

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I would like to backup the "Windows XP, Data and Original Lenovo Recovery Partition" of a Lenovo S10-2 Netboook to an external USB HDD. I am using Acronis True Image Home 2010.

Since it is not possible to backup the drive OS when Windows XP is booted ("snapshot can not be done") I tried to do so by using the Acronis CD to boot. This usually always works on blocked files or partitions.

I want to save the Image to an external USB Harddrive.

The Expernal USB Harddrive is listed in the tree view where I can choose the Partitions to back up, but is NOT listed in the view where I choose to store the Image (it is not because on the external drive is not enough free disk space, is 300 GB free, my Netbook has 100 GB, compresses ca. 50 GB).

Why is it not listed? If Acronis supports the USB drive it must be visible on both dialogs I guess.

Any idea?

THANKS!
André
